I wonder where the phrase Like a Kid in the Candy Store came from. I imagine that someone was at a candy shop and witnessed the happiness of a child discovering all the flavors and sweets that were available and then forever after we use the phrase to express the joy in people's eyes when something wonderful happens. I know the feeling of seeing all the different variations and the walls and walls filled with the sweetest most wonderful snacks, it just brings so much joy to me too, so I know that I was like a kid in a candy store as an adult in the candy store.
